Since 1900, sea levels have risen 10 to
15cm, largely due to the melting of glaciers
and ice caps. Because of this melting,
scientists have predicted that the level of
the sea could rise by as much as 1.65m by
203O and 3.1m by 2100. ........ . Then, it
would threaten over 10 million square
kilometres — only 3% of the world's area,
but more than 30% of its farmland and home
to over 1 billion people. All coastal cities
would be at risk as would many islands.
Most of Asia's rice farms would be
endangered and the entire country of the
Netherlands could end up under water.

This would be disastrous as a 1m rise
could affect all land up to 5m above
average sea level

Of course it is also quite possible that no
such rise in water levels will ever happen

The levels of the world's seas have been
rising constantly since the end of the last
ice age

When this takes place, millions of people
will be forced to evacuate and find new
homes

However, since hardly anyone alive today
will still be around in the year 2100, we'll
never know
